[QUOTE="Zum, post: 222499, member: 349"] I think I missed the question:) We all know we should have fully charged batteries and they normally start off that way. When they get used they loose some charge and we have to turn them up,to get the same results. Let's say, you draw 20 amps at half open(full charge) and now you are at 3/4's(used abit) to get the same speed/power.I'm thinking it would still only be at 20amps,not say 30amps like it might be if fully charged. If you use the right size wire and breaker and don`t see any problem. I thought you were only hurting the battery,if running it to long,towards a dead state. Theres no "juice" left in the battery to hurt anything else. [/QUOTE]
